@Aim_High  Total replies for me when I turned Super was around 5500.  @M_Smart007 posted on my Venmo approval Feb 2021 informing/congratulating me on my rank up.  I just counted the pages since then, total number of replies/posts since then and it comes to roughly 1170.  39 pages x 30 posts/page.



Thanks @FireMedic1 and @GApeachy.   Yeah, I'm thinking 5500 to 6000 will probably tip the scales for me.  All my other stats are pretty high so they shouldn't be holding me back.  Oddly enough, it looks like this message will be my "5,000th" reply (and post number 5,129) ... so I'll let you know if it trips the switch!  Lol Smiley Tongue


I ranked up to Super at 5703 posts. You should be getting very close.

 

On the other hand, I don't get how @cashorcharge is still only a Senior Contributor with 9900 posts. He should be Super.

This isn't secret info (it's been shared before) but the algorithm looks at number of posts, minutes spent on the forum, and number of logins. Note that posts made in the smorgasboard don't count for rank purposes.  

 

You have to hit an unpublished criteria in all three categories before the rank-up happens (no, I don't know the exact figures).  That's how someone with tons of post will have a lower rank than someone with less posts.

 

Just a heads-up, the previous admin came down hard on folks gaming the algorithm (i.e. using scripts to inflate numbers, etc.) so for those considering that it's probably best not to.

Re: Community Ranks

Looks like I've got a long way to go before I rank up from Established Contributor to Valued Contributor...tried to add an image but no matter how small I make the image (whether it be via an upload or a copy and paste) I get an error for being over 20,000 characters which is not accurate (i've used multiple images larger than this one in a single post with no trouble in other parts of the forum).

Its not an exact count. But here: https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/SmorgasBoard/Community-Ranks/td-p/3888548/page/9 

You'll be Valued at 1000 posts. But there other factors too. No one knows what it is. Each rank I passed what was posted by a few posts or hundreds as you mobve up. Then it changed. As far as pics. If you copy or copy link to a picture. Some sites have blocks due to copyrights. And filters here. Wont work. If your on Windows 10. Snipping tool.

Re: Community Ranks

how do i graduate from "new member" rank to "member". is it just a matter of replying to existing posts and creating new ones?

Essentially yes, execpt that posts you make in the SmorgasBoard (this) section of the forum don't count toward your post count.

 

Upgrading is handled automagically by the forum software and you'll get a congratulations email each time your rank up.
